Bible Verse of The Day – 5-27-14

(James 1:26 NKJV)  If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

Watching our words constantly is a big part of how people will determine if we are truly God’s or not. If we can’t control our words and our language with Christ living in us, then how are we any different than the non-Christian?

There should be a huge difference between the way a non-believer and a believer talks. We should be an example when we are around them. They should be learning something from us even if we aren’t saying anything at all; our actions should be speaking volumes.

Remember as we step out today, people are watching us. They are listening. We don’t need to be up on a platform to be heard or have a microphone in front of us. They watch all the time.

Hold our tongue today wherever we go and may we make a difference in someone’s life today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-15-13

(James 3:8-10 NKJV)  But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. {9} With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. {10} Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

What legacy will we leave?

When we have breathed our last breath, what will be left behind to remind people that we were here on this earth? When they remember us, what will they think of?

This is not a morbid message about dying. It’s a message about living!

Each day we speak words. We speak lots of them. Some of us, depending on our personality, might speak more or less words than others. But at the end of the day. we’ve still spoken lots and lots of words!

What we say to others can sow seeds of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness… God’s qualities, or they can sow seeds of bitterness, strife, anger, hatred… the fruits of the enemy of our soul.

(Proverbs 18:21 NKJV)  Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Words can seem so insignificant, but they truly have the power to bring life or bring death. And we need to remember that once words are spoken, they can never be taken back.

Let’s make a decision to choose our words very wisely, regardless of who they are being spoken to.

Our words bring life or death. Speak words of life!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-8-13

(Ephesians 4:29 NKJV)  Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Watching what we say takes constant work and at times it can be hard to hold back.

It doesn’t matter if it’s early in the morning and we are still waking up or we worked late hours and we are so tired.  It doesn’t matter if we are having a bad day, or if we’re not feeling well; if it’s not good, we have to hold our tongue.

Sometimes we like to give ourselves an excuse to justify our behavior. All that does is put  a bandage on it until the next time it happens. Let God help us get discipline over our mouths so we don’t keep repeating the same thing over and over.

Let us impart grace today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-23-12

(James 3:10 NKJV)  Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

How many of us can praise God in the morning when we wake up and shortly after that something happens to cause us to say something we know we shouldn’t be saying?

This stuff irritates me to no end, because it is so hard at times to stop in the middle of saying something. It’s like once it gets rolling it’s hard to turn it off. So, we have to try that much harder to not let it get rolling.

We have to catch it when it is still a thought. Do you remember your mom or dad telling you when you are growing up, you need to think before you speak? I remember especially when it was all said and done, and I was getting a lecture over what I just did. Whew…how many times did we have to hear this one?

We all struggle with this and it’s not easy. But, I will say that God is even pleased with our efforts in trying to do the right thing. If we fail and say or do it wrong, we need to repent and work at getting it right next time. That is what God is looking for… our effort in trying to do what is right.

Keep working it! It will get easier.
